Can anyone identify the gold pocket watch below ?
The only marking other than hallmarks is No 20276
Attached to the chain fob is to which I think a half sovereign, dated 1784, I do believe this is just an add on to which has been added on by my family in the past. The watch has been in many a Pawn shop or should I say Pawn shops, as I think there is odd markings to say so. I know that this heirloom has been in my family for generations. I have not got any intentions at the moment of selling the item, but, who knows, if the right offer came along I may dispose of the watch.
The watch was overhauled in 1988 to good order, the box to which the watch is resting has got nothing whatsoever to do with the watch, this was just used to support the item for photographing. I was once told that this was a common workers watch but don't believe it. I have looked through countless pocket watch books but have not been able to come across it. I think it is a little rare, but I may be wrong.
I would be very grateful is someone could come up with any dates or makers of this item or even some kind of value for insurance cover. If the offer is right I may even start thinking of selling the watch, who know's. Thanks. you can email me below.
